If i upload a file test.exe, then my application restricts it and give an alert message.
But, if i rename the file as test.exe.txt the application uploads it in database successfully.
How to restrict the upload for test.exe.txt or test.zip.txt?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Sneha.
What I have tried:
I have tried restricting the contenttype of a file but it is not working as required.
for ex:
If (fuAttachment.PostedFile.ContentType <> " text/HTML" And fuAttachment.PostedFile.ContentType <> " text/plain" And fuAttachment.PostedFile.ContentType <> " Application/msword" And fuAttachment.PostedFile.ContentType <> " image/jpeg" And fuAttachment.PostedFile.ContentType <> " image/GIF" And fuAttachment.PostedFile.ContentType <> " application/pdf" And fuAttachment.PostedFile.ContentType <> " Application/x-msexcel" And fuAttachment.PostedFile.ContentType <> " image/bmp" And fuAttachment.PostedFile.ContentType <> " application/vnd.ms-outlook" And fuAttachment.PostedFile.ContentType <> " image/tiff" And fuAttachment.PostedFile.ContentType <> " video/mp4" And fuAttachment.PostedFile.ContentType <> " application/rar" And fuAttachment.PostedFile.ContentType <> " video/mpeg" ) Then lblMsg.Visible = True lblMsg.Text = " Upload JPG / BMP / JPEG / TIF / PDF / Doc / Excel / Zip format / MP4 / MPEG / MPG/ RAR / TXT / HTML / MSG files only" Return False Exit Try
